This interesting Hacked Camera Robot that OddBot made is great since it uses a camera that most people would have no use for anymore. He has mounted it onto a mount that the robot can control and when ready the robot can take the picture. Best of all the system is autonomous.

"I’ve hacked a cheap camera and mounted on a pan / tilt neck assembly. Pictomatix MkII only has 64Mb of non upgradeable camera memory so unfortunately he can only take 25 hi-res pictures. I’ve now made him fully autonomous."
